>>78667718nah it sucks, it's basically fucking metalcore. and don't bother pointing out intestine baalism or arghoslent like most melofags do, they're decent but nothing I would listen to again of my own free will

>>78668356The music is good, nothing significantly special. Seems pretty by the numbers so far. Production is mostly good, the cymbals are a bit tinny and obnoxious. The lyrics are really uninspired though. The best part of the lyrics so far are the end of the first song and that was taken from a poem by Robert Frost.

It's good though. I'd definitely enjoy listening to it if it was playing but I'm not sure if I would pick it to listen to in particular.

>>78670321not in Vancouver there isn't, and Blasphemy is from Burnaby>>78670355revenge were better than I expected but stage presence was a bit weakD666 was fantasticmight have to pick up tickets for that

>>78673988lemme tell you it was wild, lots of moshing, the pit was super into it, and the sound was crisp as fuck, they have their own sound engineer, the beatz are hard as fuck and even without earplugs you can hear the riffs super well.

>>78674885Shai Hulud aren't that bad for metalcore. Most metalcore bands in the 90's were more influenced by thrash than they were shitty melodeath and pop punk. Some of the bands then like Disembodied it All Out War put out some genuinely heavy shit that still holds up today.

It wasn't until like 2001 that shit like Avenged Sevenfold and As I Lay Dying for popular and every Warped Tour headliner decided to rip offs At The Gates for a solid five year period.

>>78675066I dunno. I remember when /mu/ started having nothing but black metal November threads, but everytime someone would wanna talk about thrash or death metal, the threads would get saged into oblivion.

I think it's because black metal is 100% aesthetic to them. Like no one gives a shit about the music, they just like the idea of LARPing as a Nordic pagan warrior in the grim and frostbitten wilderness.

>>78674885Shai Hulud's got some fantastic melodies though. Don't be an autist that bitches at the label of metalcore. The genre's got fantastic stuff like Acme, Converge, Integrity, Starkweather, Catharsis, and of course Shai Hulud.

>>78675395>DB's lyrics ar 99% nonsensical garbageWell, they're notonce you decipher them they all make sense and have certain ideas behind them, it's just their bloated and pompous English that makes them unreadable

>>78675478that's precisely what i mean by 99% garbage. They're worded in a ridiculously overcomplicated manner that barely makes sense in a literal way until you realize that they're just using complicated-sonding words for fun.

I mean seriously >diminish the sub-principle and leave its toxic trace once and for alljust say>fuck those weak faggots

>>78675595>diminish the sub-principle and leave its toxic trace once and for allit's from:Consider the god we could be without the graceOnce and for allDiminish the sub-principle and leave it's toxic traceOnce and for allThe sub-principle mentioned here is divine grace, these verses can be read as alluding to the idea of a subject overcoming any notion of extraneous metaphysical power. Hence "Consider the god we could be without the grace" - overcoming not in a manner of atheism or rationalism, quite the contrary, a kind of inverted existentialism - "the god we could be..", etc.
